Dali Clocks: Time Dimensions of Hypermedia >>
Stephanie Strickland
Offering experiential critiques of various Net artists, Stephanie Strickland
argues that the hypermedia of the Net represents a live socket between
human cognition time and computer processing time. Within the
ever-present Net space, where concepts of ănowä and ăsimultaneityä are
more accurately expressed and experienced, surveyors of hypermedia
can obtain a greater understanding of the microfluctuating fractal process
of forming an impression, rather then simply being presented with the
rendered impression itself. Thus, cybertext embodies a perusable
extension of human minds, making it a valuable mechanism for
exercising our systems of perception.

[Intro] If the last half of the 20th century fell under the spell of
linguistics and genetics, I suggest that the special understanding of both,
genome as book, must give way to an understanding that is inherently
dynamic, inextricably statistical, and informationally multimedial in its
forms of analysis; an understanding that is less about structure and more
about resonance, about the ongoing fitting of moving mind to moving
world through moving medium. My thesis is that Web-specific art and
literature is where this understanding is being developed.
